Rhyme: Slowly, Slowly
Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Creeps the little snail
Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Up the wooden rail

Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Runs the little mouse
Quickly, quickly, very quickly
All around the house

Song (Recording): “Baby Beluga” – Raffi: Baby Beluga
with book  Baby Beluga by Raffi

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go

Baby beluga, baby beluga
Is the water warm
Is your mama home with you, so happy

Way down yonder where the dolphins play
Where you dive and splash all day
Waves roll in and the waves roll out
See the water squirtin’ out of your spout

Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga
Sing your little song
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go

Rhyme/Flannel: “Five Little Ocean Friends”
Five little ocean friends on the ocean floor,
The starfish walks away and now there are four

Four little ocean friends living in the sea
The crab slides away now there are three

Three little ocean friends looking for a clue
“Glub, glub,” said the lobster now there are two

Two little ocean friends not having much fun
Off swam the sea horse now there is one

One little octopus sad and all alone
Back swims the starfish, back swims the crab,
Back swims the lobster, back swims the sea horse
And they played in the sea foam, safe in their home.

Song: “Clap Your Hands” (Tune: “Row, Row Your Boat”)
Clap, clap clap your hands
Clap them now with me
Clap your hands, let me see
Clap your hands with me
Tap, tap, tap your knees…
Shake, shake, shake your feet…
